Carolina is adding a playmaker to its roster ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster cut deadline.
On Monday the Panthers traded for Jaguars receiver Laviska Shenault, according to a source with direct knowledge of the deal. The move bolsters Carolina’s wide receiver room, as several players are either injured or working their way back to the field. Carolina sent undisclosed draft compensation to Jacksonville to acquire Shenault.
Since the trade was agreed upon before 4 p.m., Carolina does not have to cut anyone on Monday. Instead, the team will have to subtract 28 players from the roster ahead of the 53-man deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
